Trasker's Ridge -- The Highest Quality Air in All America!

Here at Trasker's Ridge, all of our compressed air comes from beneath a unique geoligical formation in the icy-cold Canadian Rockies where Mother Nature has combined all her talents to produce the perfect balance of rain, wind, and snow, resulting in the freshest, purest, cleanest air in all of North America. Captured only in the early morning hours and fortified with 1% pure oxygen, a single can of Trasker's Ridge Rocky Mountain Rare is enough to treat an entire living room, den, or bedroom for up to eight hours. So refreshing, you'll feel you've been transported to the mossy bank of a gently babbling brook deep in a cool forest glade. Do you or your guests -- or your children -- deserve to breathe anything less? Trasker's Ridge Rocky Mountain Rare. Look for it in the Totally Useless Consumer Goods section of your local supermarket today!

my wife buys bottled water in bulk, then refills the bottles from the tap (or water coolers/fountains when we are out and about). When those get lost/crumpled/whatever, she gets new ones. Ive suggested using longer lived water bottles, but the ones we have (usually got them as some type of giveaway or whatever) are too large - she prefers the size and weight of the commercial water bottles. I suppose there is somewhere we could get small ones like that without paying for the water, but Ive never bothered looking.

some places will refill your water bottle for you.
